Unwanted Ch.7

(Authors note: Okay, there is some good news and some bad news… Bad news is that I cannot go back and edit ch.1, 2, and 3 of this story. Good news… there are like… 5 more chapters already written and more are coming! :D Thank you all for reading and reviewing! Here comes chapter 7!)

All of a sudden, a boost of energy overcame me and my legs began pushing themselves harder and harder. I ran for miles, not even thinking of where I was going to go or even where I was going to go. Being a Quincy, the Last Quincy as a matter of fact, I used my powers to get even further away from him. Being this far away from the one you love is tragic, but in this case, I think I am doing what is right. I need to rid myself from this world, and never let Ichigo find me. Maybe he will find a girl in my absence, or seeing that I was a boy, a nice man who will take care of him. I think that is the most heartbreaking thing in the world. Knowing that the one you love is going to have a family and a life, and you're not even a part of it. Tears swam down my cheeks, making my heartbeat accelerate.

Feeling faint, I stopped at a local train station in down town Tokyo. It was nearly 1:00 A.m., so I was alone. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over me, and I collapsed. Trying to get back on my feet was proven too difficult, so I sat on my knees, palms pressed against a pole, gasping for air. 'What is this?' I subconsciously moaned in pain. From all of the movement that I've been doing for God knows how long, it opened my wounds severely. Perhaps… I could just lie here and die, or maybe I could manage to crawl over to the rail road tracks and camp out there until the next train comes. Then, I would just be a bloody unidentified mess. Even if I appear on the news (doubtful), no one will be able to recognize me anyways, so if it ever gets back to Karakura Town, he'll never even know.

Feeling a dull pain in my abdomen and arms, I pitifully dragged myself over to the tracks, leaving a bloody puddle where I sat not moments ago. 'Well, this is the end…' I thought, smiling wryly to myself. An echoing horn rang through the tunnels where the train would be approaching any minute now. As I began to see the head lights of the train, I whispered shallowly to myself, "Good bye, Ichigo…" Reading my body to where I would leap off of the platform, an odd looking piece of wood came right in front of my face.

"Kid, you alright?" a gruff voice called out from beside me. Before I could see who it was, a blinding light and that same ridiculous horn blinded me and made me become deaf for a few minutes before I regained my senses. Looking up, I saw a limber man with blonde hair hidden under one of the ugliest hats I've ever seen. His cane that lay blatantly in front of my face, tapped my nose as he pulled it back to his side.

"Wow, you are messed up my lad!" he chuckled, lifting my chin up with the tip of his cane. His foot tapped slightly, making me look down at his wooden shoes. 'Sensei used to wear those kinds of shoes all the time.' I mentally reminisced.

"I'm fine, sorry to bother you…" I replied almost too quietly, due to the loss of strength in my body. He looked down at me with fond eyes, a kind smile appearing on his face. "Don't kid yourself, look at your… outfit…" he leaned down in front of me, and then mouthed a large 'O' smiling even wider as if he knew exactly what was wrong with me. I looked down at my clothing, noticing that my once white and pristine Quincy uniform was now soaked with the color I hated the most. Red.

"Hey, why don't you come with me?" he smiled, putting an outstretched hand in my face. Before I could even start to contemplate what the Hell was going on, my vision blurred and my muscles suddenly relaxed. Feeling the cool concrete against my face, I felt the darkness of faint tempt me. Looking up one final time, I saw that man and thought, "I wonder if Ichigo is wondering where I am…"

I felt some eyes on my face, causing me to fidget where I lay. This doesn't seem like a friendly gaze either, this feels intense and filled with determination. I forced my eyes open, being blinded by the light of the fluorescents caused me to squint.

"Ichigo?" I called out unconsciously, feeling around the sheets I searched for some sort of warmth and comfort. I felt what I was looking for and snuggled up closer to it, nuzzling into what seemed to be Ichigo's strong neck. 'It was just a bad dream… But why was it so real? And… why was that man's appearance so specific and detailed?' I pondered the subject over and over again. Suddenly, a low deep voice called out, "Excuse me, but can you move over so I can do my job?" The voice was unfamiliar to my ears, and all I could think was, 'Dear God…'

Opening my eyes, a dark skinned man lay next to me, a blush darkening his skin and his glasses glinting off the fluorescent lights. His thick mustache covered up a large part of his face; making me feel the most frightened I've felt in a long time. A scream escaped my lips as I struggled to get away from the large man. A flash of faint surged through my mind as I collapsed. Pain leaked its' way into my arms and abdomen. What on Earth was this?

"Well, good morning Sleeping Beauty! How are we feeling on this bright and magnificent day?" a familiar voice called out, following close behind was the sound of his wooden shoes connecting with the wooden floor. "I hope Tessai didn't scare you that bad! I told you we should have waited at least until he woke up to heal him." He said with an all knowing look. Tessai shrugged his shoulders and motioned me to lie back down so he could finish healing my wounds.

"Who are you people?" I asked through a hushed voice. My throat was as dry as a god forsaken desert, and my head ached so badly, I felt on the verge of tears. 'As if I have any left…' I thought wryly to myself.

"We are friends of Ichigo. We'll take care of you for the time being, drama queen!" he chuckled, sitting down next to my head on the floor. He slowly opened his fan, waving it gently into his face. As he continued the motion for almost 3 more minutes, he peered over his fan and looked me dead in the eyes. "You are being a bother." He said in his same tone he used on Tessai.

"What's that supposed to mean? He's the one who-"

"Calm down. You just don't know what happened, that's all. If you are truly interested if he still 'loves' you or not, I'm your man."

Looking at this suspicious character wave his fan at his face, I couldn't help but replay that sentence he spoke not even 1 minute ago. "You're a bother." What does he mean by that?

"What do you mean 'You just don't know what happened?' I was standing ri-"

"I said, I'm your man." He grinned, a definite shine in his dark eyes. Cocking my head to the side, I looked him in the eyes and asked, "If you are 'my man', what do you purpose on doing?" His smile widened.
